You want to know what it takes to lead Australia’s largest bathroom renovation franchise?
Meet Steven Sousamalis, the dual‑licensed contractor-turned‑franchisor who built Jim’s Bathrooms from the ground up.
How Steven Sousamalis Built Jim’s Bathrooms from the Ground Up
You wouldn’t guess it from his calm leadership today, but Steven started in the trenches.
With over a decade on-site as a licensed contractor, he mastered the ins and outs of construction.
That hands-on experience became his advantage—and the foundation for his franchise vision.
The Bold Move That Launched Jim’s Bathrooms
At just 26, Steven had a simple question that sparked a national business:
“I just emailed Jim and went, ‘Hey Jim, do you have this?’ And he goes, ‘No. Do you want to talk about it?’ I said, ‘Yeah sure.’”
He transformed a casual idea into a franchise division.
He designed the manuals, sourced licensed builders, established the compliance frameworks, and built websites from scratch.
He didn’t have a Plan B:
“I didn’t have a plan B. Failure wasn’t an option.”
By age 28, he led the fastest‑growing bathroom franchise in Australia.
